"Farmers stand side by side creating circles to wash waterlilies after collecting from Shaplar Bil (Satla Union,Bangladesh) , which is popularly called Canal of water lily . They also pick rotten or damaged waterlilies as these waterlilies are then distributed to market to be sold. The long stalks are used in vegetable curry in the country. During the rainy season when their crop fields get flooded, harvesting waterlily becomes their only source of income. The trade of waterlily harvesting, while not particularly lucrative, actually forms the entire livelihood of some wetland farmers in Bangladesh for about six to seven months in a year."
